I like the economist, for keeping up with the latest news especially the brief updates on the first 2-4 pages.

I'm surprised to find this many anti vaxxers on hn. I would have expected that the community was a lot more rational.

True. Same goes for the US when you exclude California. And yes, the UK isn't part of the European Union anymore, but it's still part of Europe.

I'd suggest looking for data science roles. Especially consultancies hire a lot of people right out of university. Consulting is also a great way of getting a lot of experience quickly.

I would actually love a similar (open source) system, that is working cross-platform. EDIT: I just found snapdrop [1], but haven't given it a try yet. [1] https://github.com/RobinLinus/snapdrop

As a non-native speaker, I always found the term "executive" for managers somewhat strange. Why call someone who doesn't actually execute anything "executive"?

As a recent nix user (trying to replace homebrew) I'm quite interested in the Nix ecosystem. Even though not everything works perfectly on a M1 Mac (see [1] and references therein) I prefer the experience to brew for the moment. [1] h

I find the fact that MS is promoting Rust in itself much more interesting than the content. Also, I would still really like to learn Rust properly, but I don't have any use for it currently either at my day job nor for my side projects

It really is my pet peeve with fish, but the last command that started with what you typed cannot be completed that way. For that, you need to use right-arrow. I kept a fork of fish for that purpose for some time, but that was really to
